Virchow cells

Virchow cells (also known as leprosy cells) are microscopic structures in tissues and organs that form in diseases associated with a disorder of the body's immune response. These cells can be found in many diseases, including tuberculosis, syphilis, leprosy, leprosy and others.

Virchow cells were first described in 1859 by Friedrich von Wüchel in his book "Die Bau des Menschenkörpers", which has become a classic work on anatomy and histology. He called them "leprosy cells" because of their characteristic angular shapes, reminiscent of a leprosy granule. Since then, Virchow's cells have become the object of study and research by many scientists.

One of the main functions of Virchow cells is to protect the body from pathogenic microorganisms. They are formed in response to inflammatory processes caused by infectious diseases and serve to protect blood vessels and the nervous system from microorganisms, toxins and other foreign agents.
